The current information Poland: After the trip of U.S. Vice Presidents by the Soviet Union, the main result of which is the announced visit by Prime Minister Chruschtschow in the United States, met Richard Nixon in Warsaw. The Deputy President of the Polish Council of State [...] Ange came to the greeting.
Thousands cheered to the representatives of the American people as he drove through the streets of the Polish capital.

Austria: The Communist-inspired World Youth Festival held in Vienna for the 7th time. Delegates from over one hundred Nations took part in the opening at the Prater Stadium, as it is called. The Sputnik came of course from the Soviet Union; and a dragon came from China.

Baltic Sea: Klar Schiff to the first major foreign trip. Target - the Canary Islands. The sailing ship of the German Navy "Gorch Fock" filed by the Tirpitz-Mole in Kiel. Mascot "Wisky" apparently believes that's now long waited enough. And as Captain Erhardt of the same opinion is, you go Yes. The sails are set still in the port. 8 weeks which is to "Gorch Fock" be on the way. Only a harbour is entered: Santa Cruz on Tenerife.

Italy: A long journey had "Jumbo". The British historian Hoyte with the pachyderms from the Turin Zoo wanted to prove that Hannibal had come more than 2000 years ago with its war elephants through the Clapier. The science is not consensus. Agreement is only, that Hannibal had African elephants. Jumbo, however, is how the small ears to prove uniquely Indian descent. Unfortunately, here was terminus. A landslide had blocked the Clapier. Thus, the invasion ended with an orderly retreat.

Spain: parachute jumping among the Spanish elite troops training. They showed their skills at an Airshow. Actually, all the water should jump. A but apparently had something against wet feet. He made himself comfortable otherwise.
